This sculpture was first based off a 2-D artwork I made as a reaction to someone close to me telling me about their experiences of sexual assault. The text was lovingly directed to this specific person, while the faces are directed to the assaulters. I wanted to revisit this artwork because I thought there were many emotional aspects of the piece that could be amplified in 3-D. Specifically, I think wire and metal are the perfect materials for this work, as they are sharp and bold. As an example, there are certain sections along the metal frame that have the appearance of barbed wire, which I think are very powerful symbolically. The transparency of the wire faces is also very important, because the person within the woman is not acknowledged, and therefore is not even seen as material. However, the text and the teeth cannot be missed, as they are solid and threatening. The metal frame holds everything together, like a cage that is bending and about to burst (which it actually did many times).
